"This is an extraordinary film... and
the director's vision is truly noteworthy"

The Journal Of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health

 Now with Scandinavian Subtitles, an introductory booklet and an exclusive 25 min bonus interview with Michel Odent. 
 
 
This film is about how an acknowledgment of the  'psychological presence' of the infant in the time  prior to, during and after birth, can lead us into finding out more about ourselves and becoming more present for our children

  An arrival of divine proportions, or a journey through the gates of hell; to engage in the the birth process is to embrace the greatest beauty whilst risking our greatest fears.

"(The) film is tender and gentle, and the camera-work is excellent". Sheila Kitzinger, internationally recognized author and activist on childbirth and women's and human development. Recent books include : 'The New Pregnancy and Childbirth' and 'Rediscovering Birth'.

"I enthusiastically endorse the film made by Elmer Postle on the psychology of birth. It is an interesting film and introduces in a dynamic way the key concept of the autonomy, sensitivity and intensity of the new baby. It is recommended viewing for all parents to be, as well as health care professionals involved with birth". Mr Yehudi Gordon MB CHB, FRCOG FCOG (SA), British Consultant Gynaecologist, innovator & author of 'Birth and Beyond' (2004) & 'The Encyclopedia of Pregnancy and Birth' (1992, with J. Balaskas).
